I need to know the location of cooling system thermostat for Jaguar X-Type 22D

the jag stype has a cooling fan module fixed to the cooling housing fan fixed to the radiator has a complete unit but they are prone to corroded wiring at the connector area under the lower bumper liner @ the rhf looking from sat inside/under the engine compartment fuse box chect that if its a v8 they had big probs with the thermostats failing it sounds like you have got corroded wiring may even be behind the front bumper liner

do you mean the radiator cooling fan? if so that is controlled by the engine control module which monitors engine coolant temperature and air con system status, the most likely cause of this problem is the coolant thermostat. or a air con fault. check to see if the radiator is cold when the engine is hot, if so it is a coolant circulation problem. ie.the thermostat is the most likely cause. hope this helps.

the most common problems with the aj26/27 engine cooling system problems 1 thermostat 2 waterpump 3 blocked radiator the cooling temp indicator on the dash defaults to norm unless ther is a serious overheat perhaps its ok as it is if no one has changed any hoses and put in the wrong way then check 1 first then 2 then 3 is the cooling fan coming in al lthe time?thermostat is favorite

I don't know where it is; however, my husband and I have purchased 2 cooling fan assemblies for my 2004 Jaguar x-type 3.0 AWD. Neither of them would turn on. We have since been advised by a Jag mechanic that you must have a part called the link lead in order for the fans to work properly. This is a non-admitted (by Jaguar) default in this car. Check Quality Auto Parts 800-505-5838, ext. 1047 and ask for AMY. Hope this helps Nancy

cooling systems are the same for all vehicles, depending on years ,, in your case all you have is a fan, relay, and sensor, controlled by a circuit with a fuse, so , always check fuses first, if bad replace,, if not, unplug the fan at the connector,, use a jumper wire to supply the fan with 12 volts direct from the battery ,, if it starts, its not the fan, if it doesn't the fan needs replacing, if that checked out to be good,, backtrack to the fan relay, ( usually the problem) locate it in the under the hood fuse box, it will be listed on the tag on the underside of the fuse box cover ( or in the owners manual itself) you should have a couple of the same relay in this box,, ( Jaguar uses the same relay for a number of items) locate the one for the fan, and switch it out for one that runs a system you know is working, start the vehicle,, and let it run until the thermostat opens,, watch the temp gauge don't let it move up to high. soon after , the fan should start , if by now the system isn't working, its going to normally be a short in that circuit, and would have to looked at by a trained professional with knowledge in electrical circuits

These cars are terrible for holding air pockets once the cooling system has been drained.
Run the heater on max and let the car cool, top off the coolant, and repeat the process several times. Also make sure the electric fan assy is functioning. There is a module on the side of the fan assy which occasionally fails. if the fan is working then you probably have air pockets in the cooling system.

Thermostat is under the air cleaner outlet. also see my tips at http://www.fixya.com/cars/r5929960-s_thermostat for more ideas on possible causes of overheating.

2.5L & 3.0L Engines

1. Before servicing the vehicle, refer to the Precautions Section.
2. Drain the cooling system.
3. Remove or disconnect the following:
   
   Negative battery cable Fuse 38 from the engine compartment fuse box Air cleaner outlet pipe Thermostat housing and thermostat
   
4. To install, reverse removal procedure. Tighten thermostat housing bolts to 13 ft. lbs. (18 Nm).

4.0L & 4.2L Engines

1. Before servicing the vehicle, refer to the Precautions Section.
2. Drain the cooling system.
3. Remove or disconnect the following:
   
   Negative battery cable Air cleaner outlet pipe Engine cover retaining bracket Thermostat housing front cover assembly Thermostat
   
4. To install, reverse removal procedure.

The thermostat is located by the front of the engine inside a metal casing with rubber hoses attaching to the casing. This can be seen to the lower side of the inlet manifold. (V6)

Hi,
The top radiator hose should connect to the thermostat housing, bolted onto your engine. Make sure you get a new gasket.
Hope this helps... Good luck!

its hidden for a good reason.. the pressue in that system is higher than most and normall only dealers should adjust it or specialist but if you have the tools and knowldege tp do then you need too look on left side under plastics its got a yellow or orange top i believe...BE CAREFULLL jags are designed for specifics....
